Trinity of Luck

Man follows the earth.
Earth follows heaven.
Heaven follows the Tao.
Tao follows what is natural.
-Lao Tzu

trinity of luck

Many things in life can be changed for the better. According to Chinese philosophers, life presents us with three kinds of luck: Heaven Luck, Mankind Luck, and Earth Luck.

HEAVEN LUCK is the circumstance of our birth — where we are born and into what family — things over which we have no control. MANKIND LUCK is the luck we create for ourselves through work, education, living habits and personal attitudes — the actions we take. We do have control over these. THEN THERE IS EARTH LUCK, the luck we create with our surroundings. THIS IS FENG SHUI.

Chi

There is nothing which does not require chi to remain alive.
-Ko Hung

Man is in ch’i and chi is within each human being. Heaven and earth and the ten thousand things require chi to stay alive. A person that knows how to allow his chi to circulate will Preserve himself and banish illness that might cause him harm.
- Ko Hung

chiFeng shui concerns itself with arranging and governing our surroundings in order to positively direct the natural energies – what the Chinese call chi – that affect all our lives. Chi is an invisible yet potent force that circulates in the environment, and understanding how chi can be directed to positively affect our lives is the basis for feng shui. Perhaps the most significant aspect of feng shui is that it is a tool for empowerment. By helping us to understand how to alter certain physical aspects of our environment through the use of special techniques and guidelines, it can give us ways to improve and enhance those components of our lives that we deem the most important.

LITERALLY WIND AND WATER, feng shui was developed about 4,000 years ago in China by people close to the land and dependent on agricultural success for survival. They studied how the relationship of their homes and farms to the hills and rivers affected their families and their fortunes. Over the centuries, feng shui became a highly sophisticated system, studied by scholars and philosophers and adopted by the Chinese royal families.

TODAY, feng shui is being recognized by millions of people, east and west, as a TECHNIQUE FOR LIVING THAT BRINGS GREATER HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS.

It is not a religion, belief system, or spiritual practice. Feng shui is a set of principles and guidelines that help us understand how to alter certain physical aspects of our environment to improve our lives.
